Uncut Diamond

Flames stream behind*
A lion chasing antelope
Then it slashed my heart
And all the chases I’d been on
Were rushing waves of mauve
So many sails catch the squall
And deep cave mouths provide a light
Spitting bone colored light on stone
New dreams crawl backwards
The flame’s alive
I’m there chasing antelope
As they cross my eye
All the chases I’ve been
Rush into my mind
So many sails fill and pull
And the caves ignite again
There, an uncut diamond shone
